Sun Qiuyun knew what she was thinking and comforted her, "Huaiyuan said that many people outside don't know what the situation is like in China and dare not come back. In a few years, when Pingjiang becomes an international metropolis, those relatives who have gone abroad will definitely come back on their own initiative. At that time, you, Mom, will be able to reunite with your family."

The old lady sighed, "I don't care about anything else, I just hope your aunt can come back. I wonder how she is."

Her mother only gave birth to her; her brothers and sisters were all born to her father's concubines. She wasn't close to these people, so she didn't miss them. However, she was close to her sister-in-law, Sang Wanhua.

Moreover, Sang Wanhua and her husband Sang Juemin were born of the same mother and were very close. When she started Yimintang, her sister-in-law was the most supportive. Unfortunately, her sister-in-law was too proud and her ideas were too progressive. The Sang family was a conservative family and could not tolerate her sister-in-law at all. Her sister-in-law had no choice but to leave for another place and did not even know that Juemin had passed away.

“My aunt is so strong, she can do well no matter where she goes, and she will definitely come back.”

Sun Qiuyun was full of confidence. Sang Wanhua was the woman she admired most, even more so than the old lady, because although the old lady was capable, she was still traditional and somewhat conservative at heart.

However, Sang Wanhua studied abroad and had a broad perspective. Her advanced thinking is unmatched by many women today. Moreover, Sang Wanhua's abilities were indeed outstanding. She ran a newspaper all by herself, and her sharp writing criticized the powerful and wealthy at the time. It was because of this that she fled to another place to avoid trouble.

Compared to her father-in-law Sang Juemin's gentle and refined manner, Sun Qiuyun admired Sang Wanhua's passionate patriotism more, because she herself dared not do it, and therefore she most admired this kind of fighter who dared to fight against the powerful and wealthy.

The old lady smiled and said, "You're right. Wanhua can live well no matter where she goes. She's sixty-three this year, quite an old lady. I wonder if she's married yet."

Sun Qiuyun shook her head with a smile, "I don't think so. What man is good enough for Auntie!"

Sun Qiuyun felt that a remarkable woman like Sang Wanhua shouldn't get married and have children like ordinary women, as it would be a waste of her potential. Moreover, Sang Wanhua herself had said that she would never get married in her life because she believed that men were all cowards and she despised men!

Ye Qingqing was extremely interested in this eldest daughter of the Sang family and kept pestering Sun Qiuyun to ask her many questions. After learning about Sang Wanhua's past achievements, she couldn't help but feel fascinated.

"I wish I could meet her! I want my great-aunt to sign my autograph!"

Gu Nianci, who had been sitting silently to the side, suddenly snorted coldly, "She might not even be interested in you. That woman has very high standards!"

Ye Qingqing was stunned. What was wrong with her grandmother this time?

The old lady retorted irritably, "Wanhua may not like you, but she will definitely like Qing'er!"

Gu Nianci was so angry that she pushed her wheelchair away herself, too tired to put up with it anymore.

Sun Qiuyun explained with a smile, "Your aunt and your grandmother didn't get along before."

Ye Qingqing understood. Sang Wanhua was a feminist ahead of her time, while Gu Nianci was conservative and traditional, putting her husband first and filled with feudalistic ideas. It was no wonder that Sang Wanhua could not stand up to her!

The ball was on March 25th. Miao Tianxiang asked her to arrive a day early. Ye Qingqing had already completed the formalities and was preparing to leave on the 23rd, staying at Ruan Yingzi's house.

Ye Ming packed her luggage. If he hadn't had to stay to take care of Wuchen and Xiaotong, he would have wanted to go with her. The old father kept nagging and giving instructions, which made Ye Qingqing feel both helpless and amused.

"I just went there before the New Year, Dad, what are you worried about?"

"Last time Lu Mo was with us and nothing happened, but this time he's not with us..."

Lu Mo wanted to go along, but he had too much to do at the company and couldn't leave. However, He Weishao was going to Hong Kong for business, so he could help him along the way.
